Now maybe
I didn't mean
to treat you bad
yeah
but I did it anyway
And then maybe
some would say
your life was sad yeah
but you lived it anyway
And so maybe
your friends
they stand around
they watch you crumble
as you falter to the ground
And then someday
your friends
they stand beside
as you were flyin'
Oh you were flyin'
oh-so high
But then someday
people look at you
for what they call their own
they watch you suffer
Yeah they hear you
calling home
And then someday
we could take our time
to brush the leaves aside
so you can reach us
hey but you left me
far behind
Now may-ay-ay-ay-be
I didn't mean
to treat you oh-so bad
but I did it anyway
Now I'm saying
but may-ay-ay-ay-be
some would say
you're left with
what you had
but you couldn't
share the pain
yeah no no no
Couldn't share the pain
they watch you suffer
Mmm
Now maybe
I could have made
my own mistakes
but I live with
what I've known
And then maybe
we might share
in something great
Won't you look at
where we've grown
Won't you look at
where we've gone
And then someday comes
tomorrow holds
a sense of what
I fear for you
in my mind
as you trip the final line
And that cold day
when you lost control
shame you left my life
so soon
You shoulda told me
hey but you left me
far behind
Now may-ay-ay-ay-be
I didn't mean
to treat you oh so bad
Oh but I did it anyway
Now may-ay-ay-ay-be
some would say
you're left with
what you had
Oh but you couldn't
share the pain
no no no no
Oh no
Oh no no no no no
Oh no said
oh no
Said oh no
Said oh no
But may-ay-ay-ay
I said may-ay-ay-ay-be
didn't mean
to treat you oh-so bad
Oh but I did it anyway no
Said oh m-maybe now
oh Lord baby
Some would say
you're left with
what you had
but you couldn't
share the pain no
I said now
times have changed
Your friends
they come and watch you
crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hold you down
hold on down
Said maybe love
maybe love
didn't mean
to treat you bad
but you left me far behind
left me far behind
left me far behind
